title: Potential animal feed allergens.
abstract: The aim of this article is to present the interdisciplinary area that concerns both animal feed allergy and human food allergy. The following problems are presented: definition of animal feed allergy, mechanism of food/feed allergy, contemporary paradigm of immune response, nature of epitopes, neoallergens, nutrigenomics and animal holistic feeding. Finally, it is noted that the present view on food/fodder and nutrition of people and animals have more and more in common. Their common ground is the idea of nutritional genomics as an idea of individual nutrition, prevention and therapy.
